Anne Rice herself announced that she had regained the rights and was planning to adapt the novels for television alongside her son, Christopher Rice.
Bryan Fuller was going to be the showrunner after leaving American Gods (2017), but left the series to work on other endeavors.
In the original novel and in Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994), Louis de Pointe du Lac is a white Creole man. In the show, the character's race is changed to African American Creole. This change was done to partially tell the story in a new way and explore racial themes in the New Orleans setting and early 20th Century.
